[QUOTE="Carman, post: 596323, member: 40372"] I have read about everything there is to read regarding reloading for the Garand. Mine shoots the surplus ammo very well. Yesterday, I was knocking down bowling pins at 200 yards pretty consistently, and even knocked some down at 300 yards. Bowling pins are darn small at 300 yards so I am certain the misses were my aim and not the gun. The old surplus ammo shoots well. I put every shot on a 6 inch target from 100 yards but they were scattered all over. I am sure once I reload, they will tighten up and be as good as someone my age with my eyesight can shoot. I am going to load with 150 grain FMJ's and some 150 grain BTHP's with 47 grains of IMR 4895. I got some match grade Lake City brass that I am going to bump up to 48 grains and try as well. I just got in some surplus ammo that the seller advertised as HXP but when I opened it, it was Lake City 57, so I have plenty of Lake City brass to work with. Thanks for everyone's input. [/QUOTE]
